Debut Or Die

Chapter 103

I returned to the dorm after the fruitless meeting with Cheongryeo.

It was already 3 am. Of course, everyone was sleeping.

'...I have to get out of bed at 8 tomorrow.'

I had to go to bed right away. I lowered the sound of my footsteps and hurried to my room.

And I was surprised.

"...!"

"Hu..."

It was because Lee Sejin was cooped up in his bed, staring at his smartphone and crying.

Light leaked from the phone screen and showed Lee Sejin's crying face.

'...Are you watching Netfler?'

I was very embarrassed.

"..."

I deliberately made a slight sound of footsteps and crossed the room. It was to give him time to patch things up.

'I'll wash up first and change my clothes.'

And after taking a shower in the bathroom, Lee Sejin was invisible with the blanket pulled over his head.

That side was embarrassed, too.

'...Now, then.'

I lay down on the bed. I didn't have to wear earplugs at this late hour.

However, it wasn't long before I regretted not wearing it.

"...Sniff."

It was because the sound of crying from next to me echoed dully.

No matter how you heard it, it was the sound of crying with one's face buried in the pillow under the blanket.

'I'm going crazy.'

I seriously contemplated lying back with earplugs on, but eventually, I got up and approached the bed next to me.

And I tapped on the blanket.

"Hyung, is something wrong?"

"...!!"

The blanket rattled and a cough resounded.

'Tears, runny nose, and even saliva came out...'

I waited with my arms crossed because even if it wasn't seen by others, it didn't show what it was like.

"...You didn't wear earplugs?"

"I didn't know I would need to wear it at this early hour."

There was a sound of tossing and turning again. And Lee Sejin's voice sounded calmer, closer to normal.

"...Now, it's not a big deal."

"..."

It meant there was something going on.

At that moment, a faint warning sound rang in my head.

"...Hyung, don't tell me, is it a drug problem?"

"Are you crazy?"

Hm, so it wasn't that.

Frightened, I confirmed with Lee Sejin, who had come out of the blanket, and went back to bed.

Even though it was dark, I could see Lee Sejin's face turning red.

"Do I look like a junkie?"

"Nope... I just met Cheongryeo sunbae-nim today, and I heard a story about someone who went on drugs. I asked because I suddenly remembered."
